Tecmo Koei will challenge Capcom's Monster Hunter series head-on with its new Vita game, Toukiden: The Age of Demons, heading West in February.
The publisher has confirmed a North American release date of February 11, with an EU launch set for Feb. 14
PrevNextWith around half a million copies sold in Japan since its launch there in June 2013, Toukiden is a third-person monster collecting adventure seemingly heavily influenced by Capcom's Monster Hunter series.
The blurb according to the publisher:
"Set against a backdrop inspired by various historical periods of Japan, Toukiden tells the tale of humanity's last stand for survival. When monstrous demons (Oni) of varying strength and size invaded the world through cracks in space and time and started attacking humans, the only opposition came from the Slayers; a caste that has always secretly protected mankind from their murderous intent."
You take on the role of a slayer, working with other players and NPC characters to discover and battle giant monsters, leveling up your weapons and abilities as you go.
